FREEDOM Our correspondent writes Mar
10 Our annual town meeting, Mondsy, was
adjourned without date after the Moderator
and Clerk had been elected. A claim was
presented that the meeting was not legally
notified, and this adjournment was for the
purpose Of giving time to ascertain whether
this claim could be sustained. 1t appears
that three places had been designated, by a
vote of the town, passed 81 years ago, where
the notices for meetings should be posted.
} This vote had been disregsrded, once at
least within a few years, BY posting the no.
tice at the village, in the post Office, instead
of in the store designated for that purpose ,and
none questioned the legality of posting il
there. This time it was put up in the post
Office again, with the result stated. 1t ap.
pears that this was not . legal notice. An.
other meeting has been called for March 2S
